The NBA is in an era of high efficiency, and it's not uncommon to see players playing astounding in their short playing hours. Spurs' Wembanyama, as a draft state, played less than 30 minutes per game in the new season, but he played superstar statistics.
Of course, there are many others like him in the league who have played better with less than 30 minutes of playing time. To this end, the American media listed the 10 people who currently average less than 30 minutes per game in the 2023-24 season and have the best individual performance and influence.
1.Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs).
In the 2023-24 season, Wembanyama played an average of 28 minutes per game, averaging 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. Actually, Popovich is trying to protect Wembanyama, after all, he wants Wembanyama to be the next Tim Duncan. Moreover, Wembanyama averaged one steal and three blocks per game.
2.Porzingis (Boston Celtics).
In the 2023-24 season, Porzingis averaged 29 minutes per game, averaging 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 assist per game. Look at Porzingis' stats for Celtic, as well as the team's record. It can only be said that the Knicks and Dallas Mavericks back then really wouldn't use Porzingis. The Celtics knew very well that Porzingis's interior defense was average, and took the initiative to let him serve as the team's mid-range projection gunner, who was too tall for the opponent to defend.
3.Myle Turner (Indiana Pacers).
In the 2023-24 season, Myles Turner played an average of 27 minutes per game, averaging 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 assist per game. Myles Turner is one of the best centers in the NBA in recent years, both offensively and defensively. In previous seasons, he has been one of the favorites for the league's Defensive Player of the Year award.
4.Cam Thomas (Brooklyn Nets).
In the 2023-24 season, Cam Thomas averaged 29 minutes per game, averaging 20 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. Cam Thomas is the future of the Brooklyn Nets, and he has excellent offensive skills, and perhaps he will replace Mikal Bridges as the future leader of the Nets.
5.Bogdan Bogdanovic (Atlanta Eagles).
In the 2023-24 season, Bogdan Bogdanovic played an average of 29 minutes per game, averaging 16 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. Bogdan, the Hawks' third or fourth man, has slipped a bit of his own offensive possession this season, and as the team's third offensive core, he has excellent rebounding and playmaking ability, but he still can't help the Hawks win more games.
6.Collinth Sexton (Utah Jazz).
In the 2023-24 season, Collinth Sexton averaged 24 minutes per game, averaging 17 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. It's a bit difficult for Collinssexton to be the core leader of the Jazz, mainly because the team still has Markkanen. However, the Jazz could still consider developing him to become the second man on the team.
7.Jonathan Kuminga (Golden State Warriors).
In the 2023-24 season, Jonathan Kuminga averaged 25 minutes per game, averaging 15 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. Jonathan Kuminga has been the second-most consistent offensive scorer for the Golden State Warriors this season, behind only Stephen Curry, and without him, the Golden State Warriors would have dropped out of 12th place in the West.
8.Quickley (Toronto Raptors).
In the 2023-24 season, Quickley played an average of 27 minutes per game, averaging 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. After being traded by the Knicks to the Raptors, Quickley did better, and he got more opportunities to show himself.
9.Tim Hardaway Jr. (Dallas Mavericks).
In the 2023-24 season, Tim Hardaway Jr. averaged 29 minutes per game, averaging 16 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist per game. With the Dallas Mavericks this season, he has played a lot of high-scoring performances and is Kyrie Irving's best helper on the offensive end. Unfortunately, he has injury concerns and can't play for too long.
10.Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings).
In the 2023-24 season, he averaged 25 minutes per game, averaging 15 points, 2 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. Malik Monk became the Kings' bench scoring champion, and it can only be said that the Lakers really missed it back then. Malik Monk currently has what it takes to be an All-Star guard, with a big heart shooting, excellent three-point shooting, and top-notch breakaways.
